The assassin's speed was very fast, and he left the Taizu Temple in the blink of an eye. The imperial guards outside the temple did not react at all, and he actually escaped.
But it's not their fault. The assassin was wearing the uniform of a royal guard in front of the temple, and his cleverness was that he had already put away his knife when he left the temple. The Imperial Guards just knew that there was an assassination in the temple, but the news also spread.
It seems that the assassins have been captured, but who would have thought that there would be one that slipped through the net?
Xu Zizhen was also very fast, but the Kung Fu Forbidden Army, which was just one step behind the assassin, came to its senses, and immediately used more than a dozen guns to hold him down.
"stop!"
Xu Zizhen threw out his badge and said angrily: "I am Jin Sanshun, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard Battalion. Why didn't you stop the assassin who escaped just now? Let him escape and let us see how you explain."
The Imperial Guards were startled, was that an assassin just now? Look at the badge again, the serious Dragon Guard Camp, yes, they realized something was wrong and quickly put down their weapons. The leader was about to raise his men and chase after him.
Then he glared and said: "What are you chasing? Just stay here and don't cause any trouble to me."
The team leader was frightened and hurriedly got out of the way. He said with a smile, "Then I will completely rely on you, Commander Jin."
Xu Zizhen ignored him again, jumped out in a flash, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Several forbidden soldiers were dumbfounded and murmured: "What a quick move."
The team leader coughed dryly and said sternly: "I am the leader of the Dragon Guard Camp, how can my skills be so bad? Keep your spirits up, and be careful if anything goes wrong!"
…
How could Xu Zizhen let others ruin his plan? Although he was also full of doubts as to why the assassin would hint him to chase him out, he intuitively felt that this was an opportunity, a good opportunity for him to stay in Huining Mansion. He didn't want to
Really escort those two useless emperors to Five Kingdoms City. God knows when you can come back after going there.
Today's assassination incident is really wonderful. No matter who is killed, but to be able to assassinate in a place like Jinren Taizu Temple, and also kill so many ministers of the court, Wu Qiu will not be in a hurry no matter how big his heart is.
Have you brought Zhao Su into the palace?
Xu Zizhen thought as he chased after him. He was not afraid that he would not be able to find the assassin. Since he could lead him out, the man would naturally leave him clues or simply wait for him.
Sure enough, after leaving the temple, there was only one road leading to the north. Xu Zizhen chased it for a while, only to find that the road became more and more remote. Looking around, he could only see mountains connected with mountains, and there were not even any villages around.
.
Suddenly Xu Zizhen stopped and looked forward. There was a man standing under a tree. He was dressed as the assassin who had just escaped. Xu Zizhen put his hand on the handle of the knife and began to approach slowly, asking: "Your Excellency, please take me."
It was you who brought me here...?"
Just as he was saying this, Xu Zizhen suddenly saw the man's face clearly, was shocked and blurted out.
This man's clothes were that of the assassin just now, but his face was that of another person. Xu Zizhen also remembered that when he followed Wan Yanqing's motorcade north, he met a group of robbers on the mountain road. This man was
The robber leader who was restrained by him at that time.
The robber leader put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly: "Brother, we meet again."
Xu Zizhen frowned and couldn't figure out what he wanted to do for a while. Seeing that he looked calm and calm, he didn't seem to want to take action, so he simply said straight to the point: "Is there any good business for calling me out? But I don't have time recently.
, you don’t need to call me for the job of Jie Dao.”
"Brother, you are joking. You are a smart man. You saw last time that our brothers are not the real ones."
"I'm not interested in knowing why you are talking about Mao Jie. Tell me the key points."
The leader of the robbers was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, I have a share of the credit and I want to give it to my brother. I wonder if your brother is interested." After saying that, he clapped his hands lightly, and someone suddenly came out from the darkness and handed him over.
A heavy object was thrown to the ground.
Xu Zizhen was startled, and he couldn't help but froze when he looked closely, because the person thrown on the ground was clearly a person, and that face was the assassin who had just assassinated Wan Yanji in the Taizu Temple.
Even if Xu Zizhen wasn't stupid, he still couldn't figure it out. The assassin had a knife stuck in his back, and it looked like he had only been dead for a while, with blood still flowing from the wound.
"What does that mean? Credit?"
The leader smiled and said: "Yes, I wonder if brother is satisfied with this contribution?"
An idea flashed in Xu Zizhen's mind. This was indeed a great achievement. Although it was not as big as the sky, for him, it was like giving someone a helping hand in times of need. He was just thinking about how to leave the Dragon Guard Camp and stay in Huining Mansion. Such a good opportunity gave him a gift.
If you send this assassin back, there is a high chance that either Orben or Sa Gai will recruit him.
But he remained calm despite being secretly excited and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
The leader shook his head: "You don't have to do anything, brother, just forget about me."
When talking to smart people, it goes without saying that the dead man on the ground is obviously not the real assassin, but the leader of the robbers in front of him. Xu Zizhen naturally knows this, but why is he playing such a trick?
It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to ask clearly, and the other party wouldn't let him ask any more questions. The robber leader smiled again and then turned around and disappeared, leaving behind Xu Zizhen and the "assassin" on the ground.
"It's inexplicable." Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment and stopped thinking about it. Just as he was about to reach out to lift the dead man, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He retracted his hand and stood up straight. He said calmly to the little forest on the roadside, "Don't you want to watch the show?
Those who bought tickets, come out and have a chat."
There was silence in the forest, except for the sound of the wind.
Xu Zizhen frowned and said impatiently: "I don't have much time. If I don't come out, I will leave."
Boo hoo hoo…
Several sounds broke through the air in succession, and several figures shot out like arrows. One of them quickly flew behind Xu Zizhen, and the other two stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, instantly forming a triangle to surround him in the middle.
Xu Zizhen smiled. He didn't recognize the person blocking his retreat, but the two people in front of him were acquaintances, a man and a woman. The man had a black face with a scar. Although the woman was covered with a gauze, only her face was exposed.
A pair of eyes, but Xu Zizhen recognized it from the cold gleaming sword in her hand.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Miss Lin and Ma Laosan. Why, did they come all the way to save those two useless emperors?"
The man and woman were Lin Chaoying and Ma San. As soon as these words came out, the two of them were shocked. Ma San drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted warily: "Who are you?" He didn't ask how you knew, or anything like that.
He just tentatively asked about the other person’s identity.
Lin Chaoying did not speak, but she carefully looked at the "soldier" in Jinjun uniform in front of her. She was sure that she did not recognize this face, but he seemed to have a very familiar aura about him, and the tone of his voice was also...
Xu Zizhen suddenly mentioned the dead body as if nothing happened and said, "What do you want to do? It has nothing to do with me. See you later."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly there was a brush, and there was a cold sword in front of him, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the tip of his nose.
…
I'm sorry. I was supposed to come back and update, but I fell ill again and haven't recovered yet. The latest update is still not guaranteed, but again, I won't be jailed. I'm sorry everyone!
